The killing of two Palestinian first responders comes as Israel escalates attacks in Rafah

Israeli forces bombed an ambulance in Rafah, killing two Palestinian paramedics on a rescue mission, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

The pair, identified as Haitham Tubasi and Suhail Hassouna, were “deliberately” targeted while in a PRCS ambulance in the Tel al-Sultan area in western Rafah, the medical group said.

The charity added that they were killed while “they were performing their humanitarian duty”.

Their bodies were retrieved on Thursday by their colleagues, who were moved to tears as they buried them in Rafah.

“The Israeli occupation forces deliberately bombed the ambulance vehicle despite it bearing the internationally protected Red Crescent emblem,” PRCS said on social media platform X.

    Russia is not committing a genocide. They re committing many war crimes, but they do not amount to a genocide.

    And also in regards to numbers. Israel murdered more women and children in Gaza in 8 months than Russia did in over two years in Ukraine. Relative to the population Israel ethnically cleansed far more people. Israel destroyed the entirety of civillian Infrastructure in Gaza including almost every house.

    Russia is committing terrible war crimes in Ukraine in an illegal war of aggression. But what Israel is doing is magnitudes worse.
